    Like to see Hojbjerg on second half. I get the impression that CP doesn't especially rate Long. Just a feeling.

    Imagine spending 60 mil on Mustafi and Perez. Barely completed a pass between them.

    That was a very good half.

    Mustafi will be very good. Perez, dunno.


    Hojbjerg on for Davis, please.

    Not been bad. One each away at the Emirates is pretty decent.

    Not sure Jay has offered a great deal, but that's probably more because we've not seen much of the ball in that sense after the first 15. Yeah...it's been....okay.

    A decent half but the same old story. We play really well for a bit, then get worked out and end up under the cosh. Can we come out and stick this to them second half? I think we'd all take a draw but this is winnable.

    Arsenal are there for the taking. We haven't attacked with any conviction since the first 20 mins, we can get at them if we get it right second half

    Promising half, Romeu was very good but we still do not look particularly look like a large goal threat. A lot less width than Arsenal.

    Glad we got to half time without conceding another. Still all to play for. Central midfield needs to be stronger and Cedric needs to improve his passing and crossing.

    Is Bouffal on the bench, or not fit?

    Noticeable at the end of the 2nd half, when we have possession it's in our defence, passing back and forth.

    When Arsenal have possession it's in midfield. They can play their game that much higher up the pitch than us

    I get that feeling too, which makes it all the more baffling that we chose not to sign a striker.

    How has Jay looked?

    We have done okay, but not really imposing ourselves. I feel like we're missing an outlet, a striker that can hold it up. I'm still not a fan of Tadic centrally, I think he's much better running at people on the left wing.

    FFS. Why are we not winning 4-1 or getting beat 4-1. It's just not good enough.

    It's not fair on the moaners and it's not fair on the happy ones. Bloody Puel trying his hardest to not please any of us :)
